VIDEOS: Four people were killed in a four-alarm fire in Queens on Monday, according to fire officials.
FDNY Chief of Fire Operations Kevin Woods said firefighters arrived to a heavy fire on all three floors of a multi-story building on College Point Boulevard in Flushing.
Crews reported seeing three people jump from an upper floor as the flames spread through the building.
Firefighters performed CPR on the victims.
The fire chief said another person was trapped on the second floor and was removed by firefighters using a portable ladder.
As crews moved from the first floor up the stairs, the interior staircase collapsed, briefly trapping two firefighters before they were extricated.
In total, nine people were injured, including two adults and one child, officials said.
Two victims were taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
Five firefighters were treated at the scene and transported to hospitals in stable condition.
